THE WORLD OVER

ELECTION TO BE HELD JUNE 1

VICTORIA, B.C.—British Columbia
has just six weeks to make up its
mind on two questions—its present
political faith and its attitude towards |
state health insurance,

The provincial legislature has been
dissolved and Premier T.D, Pattullo
set June 1 both as date for an elec-
tion and for a plebiscite on the con-
tentious insurance matter, Nomina-
tions will be made May 11 with a mul-
titude of candidates already in sight.

PLAN STAMPS FOR NEW TAX

REGINA — Stamps will likely be}
used in the collection of small sums,
under the two per cent consumer’s tax
to be imposed on Saskatchewan for
educational purposes, Premier Patter- |
son stated last week during discussion
of the bill in committee of ways and
means,

Possibility of modifications being
made in the exemptions to be allowed
under the act loomed as the section
dealing with this phase was left for
further consideration, The cause re-
lating to imposition of the tax on
mail order purchases was also left
for further study.

MORATORIUM EXTENDED JULY 1

EDMONTON—Moratorium on pri-
vate debts in Alberta, which was
brought into effect on February 23
and which was due to expire on April
28, has been extended to July 1, ac-
cording to an announcement made on
Tuesday by Hon. J. Hugill, K.C., at-
torney-general. Late in the afternoon
a cabinet meeting confirmed the an-
nouncement and the necessary order-

TOURIST TRADE BOON TO
FARMERS OF THIS PROVINCE

Vision is needed by the people in the
important matter of main highways,
in the opinion of A.B. Mackay, of Cal-
gary, chairman of the western divi-
sion of the Canadian Automobile As-
sociation, with which the Alberta Mo-
tor Association is affiliated,

Long a strong advocate of the need
of improving facilities with which to
attract the tourist business to this
province in greater volume, Mr, Mac-

SOME FARMERS CLAIM.

THEY ARE UNABLE TO
GET SUFFICIENT SEED

Seeding Delayed this Week by Rain
But Moisture is Welcomed

The Carbon district was unfortun-
ate last year in suffering a disaster-

‘ous hail storm which cleaned out a

large number of farmers 100 per cent.
This meant that they had no seed
grain for this year’s crop and con-
sequently assistance from the govern-
ment was necessary. After consider-
able delay this spring seed wheat was
finally granted and applications were
received by the municipality. However
after applications were in, the gov-
ernment proceeded to allot the seed
as they saw fit and many of the
farmers are complaining that they
are not being allowed sufficient seed
to put in their summerfallow. If this
is the case, there will be 4 consider-
able reduction in the acreage sown to
wheat in the Carbon district this
spring.
Seeding Rapidly Advances

While last week high winds pre-
vented many farmers from getting 9n
the land until] Saturday, the first part
of this week saw a complete reversal
and seeding on most farms got under
way and continued until] Wednesday
morning, when rain settled over the
district, bringing a halt to all farm
onerations, The soil has been very dry
and the moisture is welcomed by the
farmers even though they will be de-
layed for a time with their seeding

This added moisture will now give
the seed a chance to germinate and
vet a good start. June rains will be
needed, but for the present there is
ample moisture.

As a result of the rain the roads
are slippery and traffic is light.

governments, It is impossible for pri-
vate interests to obtain a charter to
build and operate a highway.
“Citizens should note this fact and
realize that the responsibility lies up-
on them as electors to say by their
votes that they want hard surfaced
main highways built in Alberta by the
Provincial Government to tie into and
service the continental main highway
system.”
It is still true that without vision
the people perish, says Mr. Mackay.
But vision must let the people in
Alberta see millions and millions of
the huge 13,000,000 car population in
the United States heading for this
province, year in and year out, These
will be cash customers, who will be
buying every day they are here.
“That vision must let them see the
tons and tons of all kinds of Alberta
farm and other produce heing con-
stantly consumed by those moving
millions of visitors after it has been
paid for in cash,” he says.

bricks about 60 per cent. when mixed

He said “the maximum strength

pounds of sugar to 1,000 brick.”

Dr Jarnard added: “The chem-

He said these juices would be “the

basis for an industry which in the

They speedily discovered what

| <A large number of negro families
were living in Toronto at that time;

and their shining black faces and
rolling white eye-balls startled my
young Irish mind and held me in a
pop-eyed fascination, For years pre-
viously, fugitive slaves had _ been
drifting northward by undercover
routes; and many of the more re-
sourceful and enterprising of them
reached the British line and settled
jin southern Ontario, Public opinion
was such in Canada, at that time
that negroes were permitted to

continent,

it remained practically im

of Canada on any charge whatever.
Among the cabins in the southern
plantations, there had grown up a
tradition that far away under the
North Star could be found a para-
dise of freedom over which a great
queen reigned. On first setting foot
on Canadian soil, the fugitive slave
kneeled to kiss the bosom of a kindly
mother; and all would be well with
her soul had every other immigrant
to Canada had within him the spirit
to do likewise

Just across the way from Mr
O'Hogan’'s, there was a_— colored
avern run by Jim Henderson, a big
tavern, deep-voiced nigger who told
thrilling tales of slavery in the

the out his gullet. The
negroes in Toronto were a harmless
law-abiding body of simple-minded
people. These ex-slaves worked as
and teamsters; and few
of them were already property hold

tions of the day. Some of their des-

Getting In Ahead
Is The Only Way Poverty Problem
Can Be Solved

It is as clear as daylight that
ordinary “relief’’- whether in the
form of private charity or govern-
ment dole doesn't change matters
much, It is virtually necessary, to
be sure, but it is only a cushion to
break a man’s fall, not a railing to
keep him from falling in the first
place,

If charity is to be made really
effective we must find some way of
applying it ahead of time. We must
beat poverty to the punch. We must
worry about the victim of poverty
before he becomes a victim of poy
erty.

That is a large order We shan't
find the answer overnight gut we
can make a good start by at least

Working On Sign Language

Sir Richard aget Believes It Will
Be Internationally Useful
Sir Richard Paget, who has been
decrying education by books alone
has a curious hobby He has been
working for many years on a sign-
language for int ational use, It is
based on the id that most words
have their origin in gestures, which
are unconsciously imitated by the
tongue and mouth, and that names
for the same things in different
languages can usually be traced to
the same gesture. His theories were
once pul to the test by a learned
society at Cambridge He was given
a list of 100 Chinese words which he
had never seen before, and asked

study he scored hits in 75 per cent
of them, reports the News of the

F EVERYBODY with something to interest you
should come and ring your bell, what a nuisance

it would be- Think of the swarming, jostling crowd,

the stamping of feet on your porch and carpets!
Every week we know of many callers who come

to see you, They never jangle the bell—they don’t

take up your whole day trying to get your attention.
Instead, they do it in a way that is most considerate
of your privacy and your convenience, They adver-
tise in your newspaper!

In this way you have only to listen to those you
know at a glance have something that interests you.
too, so you can gather quickly
just what you want to know. You can receive and
hear them all without noise or confusion in a very
few minutes.

In fairness to yourself look over all the adver-
tisements. The smallest and the largest—you never
| can be sure which one will tell something you really
i want to know,

Think what this won-
derful offer will mean
in enjoyment through-
out the whole year for
yourself and your fam-
| tly. Magazines of your own choice and
| this newspaper, packed with stories, time-

d articles, helpful departments and color-
| fu
